Display Configuration showing only internal screen being detected

Laptop : Asus Rog Strix G17 GeForce 4070 RTX
Platform : Debian stable
KDE Plasma 5.27.5

The 2 external monitors I'm plugging in, are not being detected even though they work with my Windows laptop. An AOC C24G1A (HDMI) and a Samsung monitor (DisplayPort).
I also ran Nvidia's Linux driver, which installed their "Nvidia X Server Settings" app which didn't make any difference except that now when I reboot, the login screen shows up on the HDMI monitor (but it goes blank again after I've logged in).

Thank you for your bug report!

Debian advises users to not submit bugs upstream (https://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting), as this version of the KDE software is out of support from KDE, and so it's possible that the bug exists only in Debian at this point.
Could you report the bug to Debian using the report bug utility (https://packages.debian.org/stable/utils/reportbug)? If necessary, the maintainer of the package will forward the bug upstream.

Thanks for understanding!
